Hi,

I'm seeing an issue where a video sometimes fails to download completely, but a file is created with size 0 bytes.
Errors can happen with a big scrape, it's probably not a good use of time to track down exactly why in my case.
The issue is that it's marked as downloaded in the database, so retries don't download the file - even if the 0kb file is deleted and the individual post is requested to be downloaded.
Manually editing the SQLite file to set the downloaded field to 0 in the medias table is all that is needed to successfully allow a retry.

Suggestion: on completing a download, check that file size on disk > 0kb; only mark as downloaded if true.
